Thanks, Nancy,
Today is going to be a hectic day. Tomorrow should be slower. If they could call me then, it would be good.
But I am leaving town on Friday morning. I *should* be back no later than next week, but can't guarantee what day I will return. If I don't speak with them tomorrow, it might have to wait until the latter part of next week.
Regards,
Fred, WB4AEJ

the random synchrnonicity of things just amazes me, sometimes. I
started running aprsce just yesterday and started map hunting. i found
the ones on the TAPR site and also found these:
http://radioroom.org/public/APRS/Maps/
they''re substantially larger because of the detail, tho'
